Just had my phone beep for a thunderstorm warning. Looks like I'm missing out again we shall see.
The warning tells of a possible 20mm of rain in an hour..
Looking at the radar, with rainfall rates up to 250mm/hr that warning may be on the conservative side..

Lots of nice thunder but didn't see many CG's not sure you actually missed much really last night was better.
Any hail where you are? Saw a decent sized hail core on the radar..another small area of intense precipitation approaching you from the South, then that’s it...dry once you get past Oswestry
-
Couldn’t resist a look at the radar...postcode search shows my area right under a hail core as of 15 minutes ago, storm looks to be moving at a fair old lick with activity now over Chester and South Wirral.

Looking at the Met Office forecast they are suggesting showers around 7 or 8 in the evening that may occur further east before the main plume pushes up and triggers a larger band of Showers/Storms across the SW moving up through the Welsh border and West Midlands and into the NW. They are also suggesting some scattered showers early morning i.e 6-7am across EA and the SE so not surprising he has issued a risk further east as the potential is there for the odd shower or storm to initiate over there hence why he has covered these areas but with a less likely risk. However still looking likely that the main risk of the worst impacts falls into the purple and pink boxes from what i can interpret unless a massive shift happens. Good luck though hope some of you others get some as well, but i haven't had a proper storm for so long as they keep missing by 10-20 miles and it annoys me when some of you complain about missing them when some of you have been treated to some amazing storms over the last few years.
You SHOULD do well from this,
As I wrote earlier in the thread it’s been 18 years since NE Wales had memorable night time storms. A repeat is long overdue I’d say...and I’m missing it!

OMG 3rd July 2001. What an amazing night that was.
Never forgotten it, I talk about it with the same reverence that my Dad does about the July 1st/2nd 1968 event (dust falls, giant hail, total daytime darkness and 24 hours of thunder and lightning along the squall line which stretched from Devon up along the England/Wales border to Merseyside and across Northern England to Teeside)

Ventusky seems to think the storms will power across Scotland into the sea
Their CAPE charts don’t look great - but that’s SB I think so it’s kind of irrelevant
Showing CAPE of around 1500j/kg with lifted index of -6. Should go off a treat..

I don't know what the risks are for the SE valleys, but i'm thinking I should buy a nice webcam and livestream tomorrow night on Youtube... would anyone be interested to watch that if I can pull it off ?
Count me in...I’ll definately be looking out for good webcam coverage of this event......

My Missus will be wondering what the hell I’m playing at, spending the first night of my hol in Crete looking at webcams of the action taking place in the UK. Sod’s law eh? Last major night thunderstorm event I saw was in July 2001, now that we could be looking at another one, and yours truly is thousands of miles away. Hope you guys have a good one.

Can’t help but start to think about the coming Autumn season, every time I see the sight of the horse chestnuts, beech nuts, berries and apples growing on the trees...
Today is the first day where we in this part of the UK lose 2 minutes of daylight compared to the previous day, in a fortnight that accelerates to 3 minutes...time is marching on..

hmmm, I can remember daytime darkness in a storm at school around about the turn of the 70s to 80s, but it couldn't have been August.... I wish my memory was better! But I distinctly remember it being like nighttime outside and being pretty scared and wanting to go home (even though my home backed onto the school field!)
We had a daytime darkness event, would have been either 1977 or 78..I was at high school and the sky just got darker and darker, lights on in the classroom, until it got so dark it was almost like night. It was almost like the apocalypse was starting as we all (including the teacher.,who was remarking ‘look at the colour’ in a voice of disbelief)stood looking out at this peculiar greenish tinged darkness with a sense of awe, puzzlement and more than a little fear but the strange thing was there was no rain, no thunder, nothing. Then the sky started brightening markedly from the west, then as soon as the brighter skies arrived, the heavens opened!
Really strange event. One I’ve never forgotten.

But that wasn't always the case , for example during the 80's and 90's afternoon storms over the west midland would often make up here by evening , you would here the distant growls to the south as the light started to fade , then you would see the lightning, the storms would trundle all the way to the scottish border during the early hours
I dont care what anyone says , something HAS changed ,
It really never happens like that anymore, I did forecast myself that this was over hyped , as early as Friday , I knew it would be a huge disappointment for the NW , it nearly always is thesedays
Would happen during the 70s as well...large cells coming up from the south...I can recall more than one occasion of storms off and on during the night, then waking up to a very murky morning with odd rumbles retreating away to the north.
Just doesn’t happen like that anymore.

We live on a farm near horsham, we just had a shower, water pouring in the bedroom up stairs, we have put buckets, will there be anymore?
Looks like they’re travelling either side of you so you might get away with it.
Had the same issue as you during last Tuesday’s deluge so have every sympathy.

Im going to quote a few words from ‘Good Morning Vietnam’ to sum up my thoughts on June 2019.
June 2019 sucks the sweat from a dead man’s balls.
-
The rain has finally stopped after a brutal couple of days. River Alyn has burst its banks at Rossett, and the river levels are very high at Bangor on Dee. Roads flooded and surrounding fields now resembling Vietnamese rice paddies. To top things off, the temperatures have been wretchedly poor for the time of year, indeed I’ve experienced warmer Christmases than what we’ve gone through, even now the temperature is at a diabolical 11c.
Flaming June my Arsenal..

Pretty intense line of rain with rumbles of thunder came through here...went really black to the N/NE was quite unusual to see..given that most of our thundery weather here comes up from the S.

Cloudy here...we’ve actually had rain this morning...
Is this going to be one of those maddening NW/SE split summers?

Raining.
Heatwave? Maybe next time...
Move on, nothing to see here...

God I hope not...
Today has been a lot wetter than was forecast, added to the deluge from yesterday and waterlogging has become something of an issue in surrounding fields.
